Interesting fact
The Real "Leicester" coin from the Province of Zeeland (Dutch Republic) in 1586 is interesting because it was made during a time when the Dutch Republic was experiencing significant economic growth and trade expansion, and the coin reflects this prosperity. The coin was made of silver (.833) and weighed 34.27 grams, indicating that it was a substantial and valuable coin for its time. Additionally, the fact that it was named after the city of Leicester in England suggests that there may have been trade or cultural ties between the two regions.
